Cons
IconSlightly longer journey than usual
It was very easy to book tickets from Prague to Salzburg Central Station. It was very easy to buy tickets online for seat 15 in carriage 3. The staff were very nice & chatty and the train was very clean, as were the toilets. The train departed on time, so I was at my destination in "only" three hours, without changing trains. As I travelled via the city of "Budweis" in the Czech Republic, the journey took a little longer than usual. As always, the free power sockets and wifi worked well and it was very quiet on the train. As always, the price-performance ratio was excellent!

Exploring Salzburg's Historical Treasures

Hohensalzburg Fortress, perched high on the Festungsberg mountain, dates back to 1077 and is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe. Its significance lies not only in its impressive architecture but also as a symbol of Salzburg's power during the Middle Ages, offering breathtaking views over the city that will leave you speechless. Unique features include its massive fortifications and well-preserved interiors, including an intriguing museum showcasing artifacts from centuries past.

Salzburg Cathedral, with its stunning Baroque façade completed in 1657, stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic achievement. This magnificent structure holds great significance as it was here that Mozart was baptized; his legacy continues to resonate throughout this musical city today. The cathedral’s unique features include its striking dome—one of the largest north of the Alps—and exquisite frescoes that adorn every corner inside.

Mirabell Palace and Gardens were commissioned by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in 1606 for his beloved mistress Salome Alt—a romantic tale woven into Salzburg's history. The gardens are significant not just for their beauty but also because they serve as a backdrop for many scenes from "The Sound of Music," enchanting visitors with their charm. Among their unique features are meticulously arranged flower beds shaped like geometric patterns and iconic statues representing mythological figures that create an atmosphere straight out of a fairy tale.
